What sends a signal to you?
Signal Crime
• An incident that functions as a warning signal
of perceived risk for those who experience it
• Certain criminal and disorderly acts have a
disproportionate impact upon the public’s sense
of security
• The identification of these signals offers the
opportunity to target those areas that are most
likely to improve levels of public confidence
Broken Windows Theory
Foster health rather than treat illness
Intervene:
to control behaviour &
protect communities
